JOHN COLTRANE BIRTHDAY BROADCAST

On October 4, 1981, I along with fellow Coltraneologists Ed Rhodes and Wayne Moreland put together a 15 hour WBAI radio broadcast that featured recorded music, interviews and live music. Program Director Samori Marksman dedicated much of the Octorber 1981 WBAI Folio to this special broadcast. There was a cover illustration, photos by Kwame Brathwaite, a full schedule of the days events and an essay written by the three producers, delving into the importance of John Coltrane and his body of work. Tune in on September 23rd (John Coltrane's birthday) as we revisit this important moment in WBAI history.
